THE PROBLEM

The charges just keep coming

Chargebacks, shortage claims, price claims, invoice issues and more...

  • Relentless chargebacks eating away at your margin
  • Amazon miscounting your stock, resulting in shortage claims
  • Incomprehensible dispute process
  • Challenging communications with Amazon
  • Inefficient labelling and shipments, creating errors
  • No automation in fulfilment process

Amazon's (not so) dirty secret

Here's something Amazon won't shout from the rooftops: their automated systems for scanning and reconciling inbound Vendor stock are far from perfect.

  • The worst part? Vendors bear the brunt through exaggerated and inaccurate fines
  • These are supposed to encourage you to be compliant with their rules around shipments and inventory prep
  • But the goalposts move often and charges are levied automatically
  • Disputing them is notoriously complex
  • Amazon generates several billion dollars in additional revenue every single year from these fines

    Every Vendor faces this issue, but unless you are proactive, the issue will spiral, placing your profitability and entire Amazon channel in jeopardy.


Don't let it put you off

Overcoming operational challenges is key to your Amazon growth

  • Your brand is entitled to a piece of the pie, but it's important to be aware of the pitfalls of trading with Amazon.
  • Amazon put their customers first and keep their suppliers on their toes.
  • Once you understand how they do business you'll realise that fighting against them won't get you very far.
  • Much better to gear your business up for servicing Amazon in an efficient manner.
  • This means becoming operationally efficient to reduce problems and proactively disputing fines as they come in.

You can't do this on your own.
